Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xin-Yuan Lu"
- Xin-yuan Lu's recent research primarily focuses on the intersection of oncological and psychological therapies, particularly in understanding the dynamics of specific cancers such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, while also exploring mindfulness-based treatments for anxiety disorders.
- Lu's study on carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) as a biomarker in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma demonstrated a significant association between CA 19-9 response, radiologic response, and patient survival outcomes, indicating its potential role in treatment assessment.
- Additional work includes examining the efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy versus conventional cognitive behavioral therapy for generalized anxiety disorder, as well as investigating molecular mechanisms behind drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma and the implications of chronic inflammation on liver cancer stem cell dynamics.
